Three pillars. One purpose.
Coordination infrastructure, diaspora network, and policy insight — working together to close the gap in UK Afghan support.
Coordination Infrastructure
The backbone of the sector
We map the UK Afghan support ecosystem — identifying gaps, reducing duplication, and building the connective tissue between organisations. We are what BAAG once was: a neutral, trusted coordination layer.
- Ecosystem mapping and gap analysis
- Cross-organisation referral and signposting
- Shared knowledge and sector intelligence
- Coordination of services to prevent duplication
Diaspora Network
Professionals. Leaders. Changemakers.
We build and sustain the professional network connecting Afghan and British professionals — across sectors, cities, and specialisms. From business to policy, academia to the arts.
- Professional networking events
- Cross-sector mentoring connections
- Business roundtables and briefings
- Community leadership development
Policy & Insight
Evidence. Dialogue. Influence.
We facilitate evidence-led public dialogue on challenges facing the Afghan diaspora in the UK — bringing researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and community voices into productive conversation.
- Policy roundtables and panel discussions
- Research partnerships and insight sharing
- Parliamentary and institutional engagement
- Public briefings on diaspora issues
A note on our role
Afghan British Council coordinates, convenes, and signposts. We work alongside specialist providers and do not replace their expertise. Where direct support is needed, we help people find the right specialist route.
